What language family does Latin belong to?

Austronesian
Uralic
Indo-European
Niger-Congo

The correct answer is: Indo-European

Latin belongs to the Indo-European language family. This is because Latin is the ancestor language of many modern Romance languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian, which are all classified as Indo-European languages. Austronesian (A), Uralic (B), and Niger-Congo (D) are all language families that do not include Latin. Austronesian languages are spoken in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Uralic languages are spoken in Siberia and Eastern Europe, and Niger-Congo languages are spoken in sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the correct answer to this question is C Indo-European.
